Definitions
- Urological inflammation is significant health concern for many individuals.
- NGB neurogenic bladder
- MMC myelomeningocele
- Spina Bifida myelomeningocele
- Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis is an indolent bladder disorder that has continued to be a debilitating disease with few truly effective treatment options.
- PBS/IC Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis
- 1-4 Affecting primarily women, PBS/IC is a chronic disease characterized by urinary frequency, bladder pain, nocturia, urgency, and pelvic pain. While the underlying physiology is based on inflammation, the disease etiology is multifactorial; 4 contributing mechanisms include deficiencies in the GAG layer and mast cell-mediated neuroinflammation. 5 In 1997, PBS/IC was estimated to affect approximately 1 million people in the United States; 6 more recent estimates range from 0.1%-1% of all women. 2 Recently, the cost and disease burden associated with PBS/IC was analyzed by the Urologic Diseases in America Project and found to exceed $750 million dollars annually. 7
- Heparin treatment has also been experimentally explored.
- Heparin a sulfated polysaccharide, has traditionally been used almost exclusively as an anti-coagulant, but its anti-inflammatory properties are well known.
- Heparin and its derivatives have shown some promise in treating these inflammatory diseases. Particularly heparin and its derivatives disrupt at least three important events in inflammatory cascades. First, heparin attaches to and blocks the leukocyte integrins P- and L-selectin.
- heparin and its derivatives reduce the inflammatory cascade by binding to and inhibiting the cationic PMN protease human leukocyte elastase and cathepsin G, which reduces proteolytic tissue injury by PMNs that escape the first heparin barrier of selectin inhibition.
- heparin and its derivatives potentially inhibit the interaction of the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) with its ligands.
- heparin and its derivatives have shown promise in treating inflammation, treatment with heparin and its derivatives exhibits several major drawbacks.
- heparin and its derivatives are porcine-derived; thus leading to concerns of cross-species transfer of viruses.
- heparin may induce thrombocytopenia in certain individuals who produce an antibody to the complex of heparin with the cationic protein platelet factor-4 (PF-4), resulting in catastrophic platelet aggregation and generalized paradoxical arterial and venous clotting.
- PF-4 cationic protein platelet factor-4

- the structure of GM-1111 is provided in FIG. 1 , and is shown as “SMHA”).
- a flexible catheter (SILASTIC laboratory tubing, DOW Corning, 0.30 mm I.D. ⁇ 0.64 mm O.D., 1.5 cm length) was introduced under sterile conditions transurethrally. After complete drainage of urine, 150 ⁇ l of pyrogen-free 0.9% sodium chloride solution was instilled for 1 min and emptied as a washing step. Next, LL-37 (320 ⁇ M) was instilled at a volume equal to maximum capacity (150 ⁇ l) with an intravesical contact/dwell time of 45 min. Controls consisted of pyrogen-free 0.9% sodium chloride instillation, at the same volume and contact/dwell time as the experimental group.
- infusion manipulation was kept at a slow velocity and the instillation syringe was kept on the catheter to assure no leakage of solution occurred during the entire 45 min period.
- bladders were then emptied to completion and animals allowed to arise from anesthesia.
- animals were sacrificed and tissues harvested at either 12 or 24 h following the intravesical administration.
- Bladders were then emptied and challenged with LL-37 (320 ⁇ M) for 45 min. Tissues were then harvested at 24 h following LL-37 administration. All bladder tissues were hemisected, processed, fixed, and either H&E stained or tissue MPO assays performed to quantitate levels of inflammation.
- the reaction mixture was then dialyzed twice against 100 mM NaCl solution (MWCO 1000), and then once against DI H 2 O.
- the dialyzed solution was lyophilized to dryness to give 25 mg of the GM-1111-Alexa Fluor 633 conjugate.
- the substitution degree (SD) was determined from absorption of a 1 mg/mL solution at 632 nm using a Cary 50 UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Varian, Inc., Palo Alto, Calif.).
- the SD was 14%, or approximately one AlexaFluor 633 modification per seven disaccharide units.
- Bladders were removed and split longitudinally. One section of the bladder was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, and the second section was processed for tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) assay. Gross images of hemi-sected bladders were performed with a dissecting stereo microscope and photographed with a Moticam 1000 digital camera (Moticam North America, Richmond, Calif.). To assess inflammatory changes in bladders, tissues were processed through a graded alcohol series and embedded in paraffin, and 5 ⁇ M sections were cut and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E).
- H&E hematoxylin and eosin
- Severity of bladder inflammation was assessed by the presence and degree of inflammatory infiltrate (polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs)) in the bladder epithelium (urothelium), submucosa, lamina intestinal and smooth muscle layers, the presence and extent of edema and hemorrhage, and the presence of surface urothelial changes, including erosion, ulceration, and microabscess formation.
- PMNs polymorphonuclear leukocytes
- Hemi-sected bladders destined for tissue MPO assays were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored in ⁇ 80° C. Lysis buffer (200 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 10 mM Tris, 10% glycerin) (SIGMA, St. Louis, Mo.), and protease inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Scientific, Cat #78140, Rockford, Ill.) were added to frozen tissue samples (200 ⁇ l lysis buffer/10 mg frozen tissue). Tissues were then minced with micro-scissors and homogenized for 90 seconds at 4° C. with a small sample lab Tissue-Tearor Homogenizer (Biospec Products, Model #985-370, Bartlesville, Okla.).
- Stop solution was then added and absorbance was measured at 450 nm in a microplate reader (Optimax Tunable, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). A standard curve was generated on each sample plate, and a linear regression curve was generated. All values were expressed as means+/ ⁇ SD.
- GM-1111 showed no anti-Xa and ⁇ 0.2 U/mg anti-IIa anticoagulant activity, compared to 150 U/mg each for unfractionated heparin. Unlike heparin, highly-charged polyanionic polymers are potent inducers of the intrinsic coagulation cascade by activation of Factor XII, secondarily activating kinins. GM-1111 appears safer than medical heparin in tests for activation of Factor XII, even at concentrations 10-100-fold higher than needed to achieve pharmacologic inhibition of P-selectin and RAGE. GM-1111 appears to have optimal safety and broad efficacy.
- FIGS. 3A & 3B After one single intravesical exposure to LL-37, tissues were harvested and examined at 12 and 24 h. On gross inspection after 12 h, the bladders appeared to have moderate inflammation, characterized by focal areas of erythema and hemorrhage, along with global edema ( FIG. 3C ). After 24 h, the bladders appeared to have severe inflammation, characterized with global erythema and hemorrhage, along with significant tissue edema and hypervascularity ( FIG. 3D ). Saline exposed control tissues at both time points were completely normal, with no evidence of inflammation observed ( FIGS. 3A & 3B ).
- Both 12 and 24 h tissues were then processed and evaluated by histology with H&E staining. As illustrated in FIGS. 3A & 3B , no inflammation was observed in the saline exposed controls as expected at both time points. The urothelium, submucosa, lamina intestinal, and smooth muscle layers were completely intact with no evidence of PMN or lymphocyte infiltration, and lack of tissue edema. In the LL-37 exposed tissues after 12 h ( FIG. 3C ), there were focal areas of urothelial cell ulceration and moderate tissue edema present in the submucosa and lamina limbal.
- the histological evaluation of the LL-37 exposed bladders yielded a similar inflammatory response, but more profound levels of inflammation were apparent ( FIG. 4D ).
- the qualitative amount of tissue edema present in the submucosa was similar between the 24 h and 12 h tissues, but the lamina basement did yield more profound levels of edema.
- the 24 h tissue did have significantly more PMNs present in the urothelial, submucosa, and lamina basement (superficial and deep) layers.
- the 24 h tissues had multiple areas with microabscesses (PMN clusters) present, further signifying a more profound inflammatory response. Similar patterns of PMN margination out of blood vessels were seen for both harvest groups.
- MPO glycoprotein expressed in all cells of the myeloid lineage and is abundantly present in azurophilic granules of PMNs. It is an important enzyme released by activated PMNs during episodes of infection or inflammation, and is therefore utilized as a quantitative marker for inflammation.
- Our results comparing the 12 h harvest tissues illustrated minimal MPO activity for control saline instilled bladders (11 ng/ml) and control non-manipulated/non-instilled bladders (5 ng/ml).
- the LL-37 exposed tissues after 12 h yielded a 21-fold increase in MPO activity (229 ng/ml) when compared to control saline exposed samples (11 ng/ml).
- Further evaluation of the 24 h harvest tissues ( FIG. 5 ) again yielded minimal MPO activity in the control saline exposed tissues (14 ng/ml) versus a 61-fold increase (849 ng/ml) in the LL-37 exposed bladders.
- the MPO data support and are consistent with the H&E histology. Thus, moderate levels of inflammation were present after a 12 h period, with an increased level of inflammation after 24 h.
- heparin treated bladders yielded sub-optimal anti-inflammatory results.
- group 1 post-treatment
- gross results revealed significant inflammation with edema, hypervascularity and hemorrhage all apparent ( FIG. 7B ).
- Histologic findings were consistent, yielding urothelial ulceration, submucosa and lamina intestinal edema, PMNs abundant throughout all tissue layers, and PMNs marginating from blood vessels ( FIG. 7D ).
- MPO assays FIG. 7F ) revealed almost negligible differences in inflammatory activity between untreated LL-37 challenged bladders and heparin post-treated tissues (LL-37 MPO activity 849 ng/ml vs.

These applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties for all of their teachings.
- The research leading to this invention was funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, Grant No. T32 HL 079874-04. The Government has certain rights in this invention.
- Urological inflammation is significant health concern for many individuals. For example, neurogenic bladder (NGB) disease can result from excess inflammation that leads to subsequent fibrosis of the urinary bladder. In children, many congenital diseases result in NGB disease, including posterior urethral valves, bladder/cloacal exstrophy, and myelomeningocele (MMC)/Spina Bifida. NGB disease still remains one of the most common causes of renal failure and renal transplantation in children. These processes in children share overlap in adults, in whom chronic inflammatory bladder disorders such as interstitial cystitis (IC), results in significant pelvic pain and debilitating urinary symptoms. More than 4 million people in the United States have IC, with the bulk involving primarily women. The underlying physiology is based on inflammation, but the exact etiology remains elusive. Recently, the cost and disease burden associated with IC was analyzed by the Urologic Diseases in America Project and found to exceed $750 million dollars annually. Presently, the treatment of this condition has been suboptimal because of its uncertain cause and pathogenesis. A fundamental lack of understanding of the inflammatory cascades that perpetuate the disease process has resulted in a paucity of therapeutic options.
- Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC) is an indolent bladder disorder that has continued to be a debilitating disease with few truly effective treatment options.1-4 Affecting primarily women, PBS/IC is a chronic disease characterized by urinary frequency, bladder pain, nocturia, urgency, and pelvic pain. While the underlying physiology is based on inflammation, the disease etiology is multifactorial;4 contributing mechanisms include deficiencies in the GAG layer and mast cell-mediated neuroinflammation.5 In 1997, PBS/IC was estimated to affect approximately 1 million people in the United States;6 more recent estimates range from 0.1%-1% of all women.2 Recently, the cost and disease burden associated with PBS/IC was analyzed by the Urologic Diseases in America Project and found to exceed $750 million dollars annually.7
- Two anti-inflammatory sulfated polysaccharides are currently available medical therapeutics, but neither is particularly effective. First, heparin is administered intravesically, but off-target effects, expense, and modest efficacy limit its regular usage.8-10 Second, oral Elmiron (pentosan polysulfate), alleged to replenish the GAG layer, has a long lead time for onset of efficacy, is only effective in <50% of women, is poorly bioavailable (<6% of ingested) to the bladder, and has many undesirable off-target effects.11, 12 Two other treatments include intravesical instillation of Cystistat13 (unmodified 0.04% hyaluronic acid, HA), and CystoProtek,14, 15 or 0.2% chondroitin sulfate. Options for management of PBS/IC include oral hydroxyzine, quercetin, amitriptyline, gabapentin, and narcotics; intravesical DMSO, resiniferatoxin and botox have also been used, as well as combination therapies.2-4 Reviews of therapeutic options agree that more effective treatments are needed.2, 3
- In order for the bladder to store urine it must be compliant (pliable). This means it is imperative to hold variable volumes of urine at low pressures. Failure results in elevated bladder pressure, transmitting urine to the kidney resulting in glomerular injury, renal parenchymal fibrosis and renal failure. Excess deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) within the bladder wall is the main mechanism for loss of bladder wall pliability. This fibrosis can result from multiple mechanisms, one of which includes chronic inflammation. In response, bladder fibrosis is part of a wound healing process with accumulation of ECM proteins (collagen types I and III). Also, during chronic tissue inflammation, damage to fibroblasts and myofibroblasts activates cell proliferation, motility, contractility, and ECM synthesis. The final result is fibrosis, loss of compliance, and bladder dysfunction.
- Other conventionally accepted treatments of inflammation may involve UV phototherapy, corticosteroids and glucocorticoids, acitretin, cyclosporine, and methotrexate. However, each of these treatments may cause serious side effects ranging from immune suppression and liver disease to thinning skin and causing birth defects. Due to partial or complete ineffectiveness, these treatments often leave patients unsatisfied with their results.
- As indicated above, heparin treatment has also been experimentally explored. Heparin, a sulfated polysaccharide, has traditionally been used almost exclusively as an anti-coagulant, but its anti-inflammatory properties are well known. Heparin and its derivatives have shown some promise in treating these inflammatory diseases. Particularly heparin and its derivatives disrupt at least three important events in inflammatory cascades. First, heparin attaches to and blocks the leukocyte integrins P- and L-selectin. Second, heparin and its derivatives reduce the inflammatory cascade by binding to and inhibiting the cationic PMN protease human leukocyte elastase and cathepsin G, which reduces proteolytic tissue injury by PMNs that escape the first heparin barrier of selectin inhibition. Third, heparin and its derivatives potentially inhibit the interaction of the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) with its ligands.
- Although heparin and its derivatives have shown promise in treating inflammation, treatment with heparin and its derivatives exhibits several major drawbacks. First, heparin and its derivatives are porcine-derived; thus leading to concerns of cross-species transfer of viruses. Second, because of heparin's anticoagulant properties, diabetics treated with this compound are at risk of excessive bleeding. Third, heparin may induce thrombocytopenia in certain individuals who produce an antibody to the complex of heparin with the cationic protein platelet factor-4 (PF-4), resulting in catastrophic platelet aggregation and generalized paradoxical arterial and venous clotting. Thus, an important unmet need is to formulate compounds which may be used to treat urological inflammation while avoiding the myriad of side effects seen in other treatments.

- In another aspect, at least one primary C-6 hydroxyl proton of the N-acetyl-glucosamine residue of hyaluronan is substituted with a fluoroalkyl group. The term “fluoroalkyl group” as used herein is a branched or unbranched saturated hydrocarbon group of 1 to 24 carbon atoms, wherein at least one of the hydrogen atoms is substituted with fluorine. In certain aspects, the fluoroalkyl group includes at least one trifluoromethyl group. In other aspects, the fluoroalkyl group has the formula —CH2(CF2)nCF3, wherein n is an integer of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. In one aspect, the fluoroalkyl group is —CH2CF2CF3 or —CH2CF2CF2CF3.
- In one aspect, the SAGEs are produced by (a) reacting the hyaluronan or a derivative thereof with a sufficient amount of base to deprotonate at least one primary C-6 hydroxyl proton of the N-acetyl-glucosamine residue, and (b) reacting the deprotonated hyaluronan or a derivative thereof with an alkylating agent or fluoroalkylating for a sufficient time and concentration to alkylate or fluoroalkylate at least one deprotonated primary C-6 hydroxyl group. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the basic conditions may also lead to cleavage of the glycosidic linkage, leading to lower molecular weight hyaluronan derivatives during the modification process. It will also be understood that the basic conditions deprotonate the acid to the carboxylate, and the secondary hydroxyl groups, and that each of these nucleophilic moieties may participate in the ensuing alkylation in proportion to their relative abundance at equilibrium and the nucleophilicity of the anionic species. For example, 2-O and/or 3-O hydroxyl protons of the glucuronic acid moiety or the C-4 hydroxyl position of the N-acetyl glucosamine moiety can be deprotonated and alkylated or fluoroalkylated. An example of this is depicted in
FIG. 1 , where R can be hydrogen, an alkyl group, or an alkyl group. The hyaluronan starting material can exist as the free acid or the salt thereof. - Derivatives of hyaluronan starting material can also be used herein. The derivatives include any modification of the hyaluronan prior to the alkylation or fluoroalkylation step. A wide variety of molecular weight hyaluronan can be used herein. In one aspect, the hyaluronan has a molecular weight lower than 10 kDa prior to modification (i.e., alkylation, fluoroalkylation, and sulfation). In another aspect, the hyaluronan has a molecular weight from 10 kDa to 2,000 kDa, 25 kDa to 1,000 kDa, or 50 kDa to 500 kDa prior to alkylation or fluoroalkylation. In certain aspects, the hyaluronan starting material or a derivative thereof is not derived from an animal source. In these aspects, the hyaluronan can be derived from other sources such as bacteria. For example, a recombinant B. subtilis expression system or Streptomyces strain can be used to produce the hyaluronan starting material.
- The hyaluronan starting material or derivative thereof is initially reacted with a sufficient amount of base to deprotonate at least one primary C-6 hydroxyl proton of the N-acetyl-glucosamine residue. The selection of the base can vary. For example, an alkali hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide can be used herein. The concentration or amount of base can vary depending upon the desired degree of alkylation or fluoroalkylation. In one aspect, the amount of base is sufficient to deprotonate at least 0.001% of the primary C-6 hydroxyl protons of the N-acetyl-glucosamine residue of the hyaluronan starting material or derivative thereof. In other aspects, the amount of base is sufficient to deprotonate from 0.001% to 100%, 0.001% to 90%, 0.001% to 80%, 0.001% to 70%, 0.001% to 60%, 0.001% to 50%, 1% to 50% 5% to 45%, 5% to 40%, 5% to 30%, 5% to 20%, 10% to 50%, 20% to 50%, or 30% to 50% of the primary C-6 hydroxyl protons of the N-acetyl-glucosamine residue of the hyaluronan starting material or derivative thereof. It is understood that the more basic the solution, the more likely are chain cleavage reactions and the higher the degree of alkylation/fluoroalkylation that can be achieved. For example, other hydroxyl groups present on hyaluronan (e.g., 2-OH and/or 3-OH can be alkylated or fluoroalkylated). In one aspect, all of the hydroxyl groups present on hyaluronan can be alkylated or fluoroalkylated. In other aspects, 0.001%, 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 100%, or any range thereof of hydroxyl protons present on hyaluronan can be deprotonated and subsequently alkylated or fluoroalkylated.
- After the hyaluronan starting material or derivative thereof has been treated with a base, the deprotonated hyaluronan is reacted with an alkylating agent or fluoroalkylating agent to produce the SAGE. Examples of alkylating agents include, but are not limited to, an alkyl halide. Alkyl bromides and iodides are particularly useful. Similarly, the fluoroalkylating agent can include a fluoroalkyl halide. Alkylating agents and fluoroalkylating agents commonly used in organic synthesis can be used herein.
- An exemplary synthetic procedure for making alkylated and fluoroalkylated SAGEs is provided in
FIG. 1 . Referring toFIG. 1 , hyaluronan (HA) is treated with a base (e.g., NaOH) and an alkylating agent (e.g., CH3I) to methylate a primary C-6 hydroxyl proton of the N-acetyl-glucosamine residue of hyaluronan and produce methylated hyaluronan (MHA).FIG. 1 also provides an exemplary synthetic procedure for making a fluoroalkylated hyaluronan (FHA) using a fluoroalkylating agent (e.g., CF3(CF2)2CH2Br). - The alkylated or fluoroalkylated SAGE is sulfated by reacting the alkylated or fluoroalkylated SAGE with a sulfating agent to produce a sulfated product. The degree of sulfation can vary from partial sulfation to complete sulfation. In general, free hydroxyl groups present on the alkylated or fluoroalkylated hyaluronan or a derivative thereof can be sulfated. In one aspect, at least one C-2 hydroxyl proton and/or C-3 hydroxyl proton is substituted with a sulfate group. An additional embodiment can comprise a sulfate at the C-4 hydroxyl position of the N-acetyl glucosamine moiety or any combination of sulfation at the C-2, C-3 positions of the glucuronic acid moiety and C-4 hydroxyl position of the N-acetyl glucosamine moiety of the compound. The degree of sulfation can be from 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, or any range thereof per disaccharide unit of the alkylated or fluoroalkylated SAGE. In one aspect, the alkylated or fluoroalkylated SAGE can be treated with a base to deprotonate one or more hydroxyl protons followed by the addition of the sulfating agent. The sulfating agent is any compound that reacts with a hydroxyl group or deprotonated hydroxyl group to produce a sulfate group. The molecular weight of the SAGE can vary depending upon reaction conditions. In one aspect, the molecular weight of the SAGE is from 2 kDa to 500 kDa, 2 kDa to 250 kDa, 2 kDa to 100 kDa, 2 kDa to 50 kDa, 2 kDa to 25 kDa, or from 2 kDa to 10 kDa.
FIG. 1 depicts an exemplary synthesis of sulfated alkylated or fluoroalkylated SAGEs (SMHA and SFHA, respectively). - In one aspect, the alkyl group of the modified hyaluronan is methyl and at least one C-2 hydroxyl proton and/or C-3 hydroxyl proton of hyaluronan is substituted with a sulfate group. In another aspect, the alkyl group of the modified hyaluronan is methyl, at least one C-2 hydroxyl proton and/or C-3 hydroxyl proton of hyaluronan is substituted with a sulfate group, and the compound has a molecular weight of 2 kDa to 200 kDa after alkylation. An example of such a compound is GM-111101 as described in the Examples. An additional embodiment can comprise a sulfate at the C-4 hydroxyl position of the N-acetyl glucosamine moiety or any combination of sulfation at the C-2, C-3 positions of the glucuronic acid moiety and C-4 hydroxyl position of the N-acetyl glucosamine moiety of the compound.
- The modified hyaluronans described herein can be prepared from different sources of hyaluronic acid with different polydispersities and initial average molecular weights. The in vitro biochemical results, in vivo biological activities, and alkylation/sulfation levels can vary based on the size and solubility of the starting HA. For example, starting with readily soluble HA of sizes 5-60 kDa resulted in reproducible levels of methylation, sulfation, and high biological activity.
- In one aspect, a partially or fully sulfated hyaluronan or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof can be administered to a subject in order to treat or prevent urological inflammation. The term “partially sulfated hyaluronan” as used herein is when the hyaluronan has a degree of sulfation less than 3.5 per disaccharide unit. The term “fully sulfated hyaluronan” as used herein is when the hyaluronan has a degree of sulfation of 3.5 to 4.0 per disaccharide unit.
- The hyaluronan starting material can exist as the free acid or the salt thereof. Derivatives of hyaluronan starting material can also be used herein. The derivatives include any modification of the hyaluronan prior to sulfation. A wide variety of molecular weight hyaluronans can be used herein for the depolymerization step. In one aspect, the hyaluronan has a molecular weight greater than 1,000 kDa prior to depolymerization. In another aspect, the hyaluronan can have a molecular weight of 10 kDa to 1,000 kDa prior to depolymerization. In another aspect, the hyaluronan can have a molecular weight of less than 10 kDa prior to depolymerization. A wide variety of hyaluronan molecular weights can also be employed for the sulfation step. In one aspect, the hyaluronan starting material can be converted to low molecular hyaluronan or a hyaluronan oligosaccharide prior to sulfation to produce the partially sulfated hyaluronan. As will be discussed in greater detail below, low molecular weight hyaluronan is hyaluronan that has been degraded with an acid or base. Alternatively, hyaluronan oligosaccharide is produced by degrading hyaluronan with an enzyme such as, for example, hyaluronan synthase or hyaluronidase in a controlled fashion. Subsequently, hyaluronan oligosaccharides having different molecular weights can be separated by GPC or ion exchange separation.
FIG. 1 depicts exemplary procedures for producing low molecular hyaluronan or hyaluronan oligosaccharide from hyaluronan. - In one aspect, the hyaluronan or hyaluronan oligosaccharide being sulfated has a molecular weight from 1 kDa to 2,000 kDa. In another aspect, the low molecular hyaluronan or hyaluronan oligosaccharide being sulfated has a molecular weight from 5 kDa to 500 kDa, 10 kDa to 200 kDa, or 20 kDa to 100 kDa. Exemplary procedures for preparing low molecular weight hyaluronan are provided in the Examples. As discussed above, the molecular weight of the hyaluronan can be modified by cleaving hyaluronan with an acid or base to produce lower molecular weight hyaluronan. In certain aspects, the hyaluronan starting material or a derivative thereof is not derived from an animal source. In these aspects, the hyaluronan can be derived from other sources such as bacteria. For example, a recombinant B. subtilis expression system can be used to produce the hyaluronan starting material.
- After the low molecular hyaluronan or hyaluronan oligosaccharide has been treated with a base, it is reacted with a sulfating agent to produce the partially or fully sulfated hyaluronan. Sulfating agents commonly used in organic synthesis can be used herein. Examples of sulfating agents include, but are not limited to, pyridine-sulfur trioxide complex, triethylamine-sulfur trioxide complex, or dimethyl formamide-sulfur trioxide comples. An exemplary synthetic procedure for making partially sulfated hyaluronan is provided in
FIG. 2 . Referring toFIG. 2 , low molecular hyaluronan or hyaluronan oligosaccharide is converted to the tributylamine salt, lyophilized, resuspended in dimethylformamide, and subsequently treated with a sulfating agent (e.g., pyridine-sulfur trioxide complex, triethylamine-sulfur trioxide complex, or dimethyl formamide-sulfur trioxide complex) to sulfate one or more hydroxyl protons. - In one aspect, the degree of sulfation is from 0.1, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, or up to 4.0 or any range thereof per disaccharide unit of the partially sulfated hyaluronan. In one aspect, the average molecular weight of the partially or fully sulfated hyaluronan is less than 100 kDa. In another aspect, the partially sulfated hyaluronan has an average molecular size from 1 kDa to less than 50 kDa, 2 Da to 20 kDa, or 3 kDa to 10 kDa. Depending upon reaction conditions, one or more different hydroxyl groups present in the low molecular hyaluronan or hyaluronan oligosaccharide can be sulfated. In one aspect, the primary C-6 hydroxyl proton of the N-acetyl-glucosamine residue of the low molecular hyaluronan or hyaluronan oligosaccharide is sulfated. In another aspect, the primary C-6 hydroxyl proton of the N-acetyl-glucosamine residue of hyaluronan and at least one C-2 hydroxyl proton or C-3 hydroxyl proton of a uronic acid residue or at least one C-4 hydroxyl proton of an N-acetyl-glucosamine residue is substituted with a sulfate group. In another aspect, the primary C-6 hydroxyl proton of the N-acetyl-glucosamine residue of the low molecular hyaluronan or hyaluronan oligosaccharide and at least one C-2 hydroxyl proton and C-3 hydroxyl proton of a uronic acid residue and at least one C-4 hydroxyl proton of an N-acetyl-glucosamine residue is substituted with a sulfate group. In another aspect, 0.001%, 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or less than 100%, or any range thereof of hydroxyl protons present on the low molecular hyaluronan or hyaluronan oligosaccharide can be deprotonated and subsequently sulfated.
- The modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan described herein can be the pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are prepared by treating the free acid with an appropriate amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable base. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt can be an organic salt, a metal salt, or a combination thereof. Representative pharmaceutically acceptable bases are ammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, ferrous hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, copper hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, ferric hydroxide, isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, ethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, 2-diethylaminoethanol, 2-trimethylethanolammonium cation (choline), lysine, arginine, histidine, and the like. In one aspect, the reaction is conducted in water, alone or in combination with an inert, water-miscible organic solvent, at a temperature of from about 0° C. to about 100° C. such as at room temperature. The molar ratio of compounds of structural formula I to base used are chosen to provide the ratio desired for any particular salts. For preparing, for example, the ammonium salts of the free acid starting material, the starting material can be treated with approximately one equivalent of pharmaceutically acceptable base to yield a neutral salt.
- Ester derivatives are typically prepared as precursors to the acid form of the compounds, as illustrated in the examples below—and accordingly can serve as prodrugs. Generally, these derivatives will be lower alkyl esters such as methyl, ethyl, and the like. Amide derivatives —(CO)NH2, —(CO)NHR and —(CO)NR2, where R is an alkyl group defined above, can be prepared by reaction of the carboxylic acid-containing compound with ammonia or a substituted amine. Also, the esters can be fatty acid esters. For example, the palmitic ester has been prepared and can be used as an alternative esterase-activated prodrug.
- The modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan described herein can be formulated in any excipient the biological system or entity can tolerate to produce pharmaceutical compositions. Examples of such excipients include, but are not limited to, water, aqueous hyaluronic acid, saline, Ringer's solution, dextrose solution, Hank's solution, and other aqueous physiologically balanced salt solutions. Nonaqueous vehicles, such as fixed oils, vegetable oils such as olive oil and sesame oil, triglycerides, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate can also be used. Other useful formulations include suspensions containing viscosity enhancing agents, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Excipients can also contain minor amounts of additives, such as substances that enhance isotonicity and chemical stability. Examples of buffers include phosphate buffer, bicarbonate buffer and Tris buffer, while examples of preservatives include thimerosol, cresols, formalin and benzyl alcohol. In certain aspects, the pH can be modified depending upon the mode of administration. For example, the pH of the composition is from about 5 to about 6, which is suitable for topical applications. Additionally, the pharmaceutical compositions can include carriers, thickeners, diluents, preservatives, surface active agents and the like in addition to the compounds described herein.
- The pharmaceutical compositions can also include one or more active ingredients used in combination with the compounds described herein. The resulting pharmaceutical composition can provide a system for sustained, continuous delivery of drugs and other biologically-active agents to tissues adjacent to or distant from the application site. The biologically-active agent is capable of providing a local or systemic biological, physiological or therapeutic effect in the biological system to which it is applied. For example, the agent can act to control and/or prevent infection or inflammation, enhance cell growth and tissue regeneration, control tumor growth, act as an analgesic, promote anti-cell attachment, reduce alveolar bone and tooth loss, inhibit degeneration of cartilage and weight bearing joints, and enhance bone growth, among other functions. Additionally, any of the compounds described herein can contain combinations of two or more pharmaceutically-acceptable compounds.
- Examples of such compounds include, but are not limited to, antimicrobial agents, antiinflammatory agents, anesthetics, and the like. Methods for using these compositions as drug delivery devices are described in detail below.
- The pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared using techniques known in the art. In one aspect, the composition is prepared by admixing the modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan described herein with a pharmaceutically-acceptable compound and/or carrier. The term “admixing” is defined as mixing the two components together so that there is no chemical reaction or physical interaction. The term “admixing” also includes the chemical reaction or physical interaction between the compound and the pharmaceutically-acceptable compound. Covalent bonding to reactive therapeutic drugs, e.g., those having nucleophilic groups, can be undertaken on the compound. Second, non-covalent entrapment of a pharmacologically active agent in a cross-linked polysaccharide is also possible. Third, electrostatic or hydrophobic interactions can facilitate retention of a pharmaceutically-acceptable compound in the compounds described herein.
- It will be appreciated that the actual preferred amounts of the modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan in a specified case will vary according to the specific compound being utilized, the particular compositions formulated, the mode of application, and the particular situs and subject being treated. Dosages for a given host can be determined using conventional considerations, e.g. by customary comparison of the differential activities of the subject compounds and of a known agent, e.g., by means of an appropriate conventional pharmacological protocol. Physicians and formulators, skilled in the art of determining doses of pharmaceutical compounds, will have no problems determining dose according to standard recommendations (Physician's Desk Reference, Barnhart Publishing (1999).
- The pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be administered in a number of ways depending on whether local or systemic treatment is desired, and on the area to be treated. Formulations can include ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, lozenges, liquids and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like can be necessary or desirable. Administration can also be directly into the lung by inhalation of an aerosol or dry micronized powder. Administration can also be by direct injection into the inflamed or degenerating joint space. Administration can also occur intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, by ingestion, or transmucosally. Transmucosal routes may include transbuccal, sublingual, oral, vaginal, intranasal, rectal, and the like. Administration can also occur by intravesical instillation, i.e., via urethral catheter into the bladder.
- Preparations for administration include sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. Examples of non-aqueous carriers include water, alcoholic/aqueous solutions, emulsions or suspensions, including saline and buffered media. Parenteral vehicles, if needed for collateral use of the disclosed compositions and methods, include sodium chloride solution, Ringer's dextrose, dextrose and sodium chloride, lactated Ringer's, or fixed oils. Intravenous vehicles, if needed for collateral use of the disclosed compositions and methods, include fluid and nutrient replenishers, electrolyte replenishers (such as those based on Ringer's dextrose), and the like. Preservatives and other additives can also be present such as, for example, antimicrobials, anti-oxidants, chelating agents, and inert gases and the like.
- Dosing is dependent on severity and responsiveness of the condition to be treated, but will normally be one or more doses per day, with course of treatment lasting from several days to several months or until one of ordinary skill in the art determines the delivery should cease. Persons of ordinary skill can easily determine optimum dosages, dosing methodologies and repetition rates.
- The modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan can be injected parenterally, either intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously, to treat or prevent systemic urological inflammatory disorders. Similarly, the modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan can also be administered orally in capsules, in tablets, in chewing gum, in lozenges, in powders, or in a beverage. Alternatively, the modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan can be administered by intravesical installation (i.e., via a catheter).
- The modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan described herein can deliver at least one pharmaceutically-acceptable compound to a patient in need of such delivery, comprising contacting at least one tissue capable of receiving the pharmaceutically-acceptable compound with one or more compositions described herein. The modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan can be used as a carrier for a wide variety of releasable biologically active substances having curative or therapeutic value for human or non-human animals. Many of these substances that can be carried by the modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan are discussed above. Included among biologically active materials which are suitable for incorporation into the gels of the invention are therapeutic drugs, e.g., anti-inflammatory agents, anti-pyretic agents, steroidal and non-steroidal drugs for anti-inflammatory use, hormones, growth factors, contraceptive agents, antivirals, antibacterials, antifungals, analgesics, hypnotics, sedatives, tranquilizers, anti-convulsants, muscle relaxants, local anesthetics, antispasmodics, antiulcer drugs, peptidic agonists, sympathimometic agents, cardiovascular agents, antitumor agents, oligonucleotides and their analogues and so forth. A biologically active substance is added in pharmaceutically active amounts.
- The modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan described herein are safer than other related therapies. For example, heparin and other sulfated polysaccharides can reduce diabetic complications in both animal and clinical studies, and are particularly effective against diabetic nephropathy. However, heparins cannot be used in general clinical settings to prevent diabetic complications because the anticoagulant properties present an excessive risk of bleeding. The modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan described herein possess low anticoagulant activity, which is an important consideration for long-term treatment, which is demonstrated below in the Examples. Additionally, the SAGEs have little to no toxicity, which is also demonstrated in the Examples.
- In one aspect, the modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan described herein can inhibit the activity of LL-37 in a subject. LL-37 is a host defense peptide produced from the C-terminus of the hCAP18 precursor protein and is produced in circulating neutrophils, cells of the mucosal epithelium, keratinocytes, myeloid bone marrow cells, epithelial cells of the skin, gastrointestinal tract, epididymis gland and lungs. LL-37 is produced by epithelial cells (urothelial cells) of the urinary tract in both humans and mice, with significantly elevated urinary levels during episodes of kidney and/or bladder infections (pyelonephritis or cystitis). In addition to the role that LL-37 has in eradicating microbes, it is immunomodulatory and triggers inflammation via the promotion of leukocyte chemotaxis, angiogenesis, stimulating mast cell degranulation, enhancing neutrophil function, inducing chemokines including IL-8, regulating inflammatory responses via NF-κB, and increasing expression of extracellular matrix components. While the details of the downstream inflammatory mechanisms of action for LL-37 are not completely understood, responses involve the activation of a number of cell-surface receptors and signaling pathways. As shown in the Examples, the inhibition of LL-37 by compounds described herein not only is useful in treating urological inflammation but can also be useful in preventing urological inflammation.
- Based on the link between elevated levels of LL-37 and the occurrence of urological inflammation, described herein is a method for screening a compound's ability to treat or prevent urological inflammation in a subject. In one aspect, the method involves:
- administering to a laboratory animal an amount of LL-37 that induces inflammation in the subject;
- administering to the animal prior to step (a) and/or after step (a) the compound; and
- comparing the amount of inflammation in the animal to a control animal that was administered the same amount of LL-37 but not the compound.
- In one aspect, a murine model can be used to screen the ability of different compounds to inhibit LL-37 and, thus, treat or prevent urological inflammation. Exemplary procedures for screening compounds useful in the treatment and prevention of urological inflammation are provided in the Examples.
- In certain aspects, it is desirable to track the ability of the modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan to penetrate and localize in a urological tissue. For example, the modified hyaluronan or partially/fully sulfated hyaluronan can be fluorescently labeled. In one aspect, the fluorescently labeled modified hyaluronan or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, comprises (a) at least one sulfate group; (b) at least one primary C-6 hydroxyl position of an N-acetyl-glucosamine residue comprising an alkyl group or fluoroalkyl group, and (c) a fluorescent group covalently bonded to at least one disaccharide unit. Exemplary procedures for making the fluorescently labeled modified hyaluronan are provided in the Examples.
- The following examples are put forth so as to provide those of ordinary skill in the art with a complete disclosure and description of how the compounds, compositions, and methods described and claimed herein are made and evaluated, and are intended to be purely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of what the inventors regard as their invention. Efforts have been made to ensure accuracy with respect to numbers (e.g., amounts, temperature, etc.) but some errors and deviations should be accounted for. Unless indicated otherwise, parts are parts by weight, temperature is in ° C. or is at ambient temperature, and pressure is at or near atmospheric. There are numerous variations and combinations of reaction conditions, e.g., component concentrations, desired solvents, solvent mixtures, temperatures, pressures and other reaction ranges and conditions that can be used to optimize the product purity and yield obtained from the described process. Only reasonable and routine experimentation will be required to optimize such process conditions.
- The modified hyaluronan GM-1111 evaluated in the studies below was previously synthesized in International Publication No. WO 2009/124266, which is incorporated by reference. The structure of GM-1111 is provided in
FIG. 1 , and is shown as “SMHA”). - All animal experiments were performed under full approval and in accordance with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at the University of Utah. Adult female C57/Bl6 mice (Charles River, Wilmington, Mass.), 8 to 12 weeks old, were utilized for all animal experiments. All animals were housed and maintained in a pathogen-free environment, received food and water ad libitum with a 12 h light cycle. Synthesized LL-37 was purchased in HPLC—homogenous form from the University of Utah Core Facility (peptide sequence: LLGDFFRKSKEKIGKEFKRIVQRIKDFLRNLVPRTES), and dissolved in nanopure water to give a working concentration of 320 μM. Each experimental group consisted of 6 mice. Following isoflurane (Minrad, Bethlehem, Pa.) mediated general anesthesia, a flexible catheter (SILASTIC laboratory tubing, DOW Corning, 0.30 mm I.D.×0.64 mm O.D., 1.5 cm length) was introduced under sterile conditions transurethrally. After complete drainage of urine, 150 μl of pyrogen-free 0.9% sodium chloride solution was instilled for 1 min and emptied as a washing step. Next, LL-37 (320 μM) was instilled at a volume equal to maximum capacity (150 μl) with an intravesical contact/dwell time of 45 min. Controls consisted of pyrogen-free 0.9% sodium chloride instillation, at the same volume and contact/dwell time as the experimental group. To avoid possible injury to the bladder from abrupt over distension, and prevention of potential vesicoureteral reflux, infusion manipulation was kept at a slow velocity and the instillation syringe was kept on the catheter to assure no leakage of solution occurred during the entire 45 min period. After the 45 min contact/dwell time, bladders were then emptied to completion and animals allowed to arise from anesthesia. Depending on the experimental group, animals were sacrificed and tissues harvested at either 12 or 24 h following the intravesical administration.
- Two experimental groups were examined for both SAGE and heparin treatment. Mice were anesthetized and catheterized as detailed previously. Group 1 (n=4 for each SAGE and heparin treatment) consisted of first instilling LL-37 (320 μM) at maximum bladder capacity (150 μl) for 45 min, then emptied to completion. Immediately thereafter, either SAGE or heparin at 10 mg/ml was instilled at maximum bladder capacity (150 μl) for 45 min. Bladders were then harvested at 24 h following SAGE or heparin intravesical administration. Group 2 (n=4 for each SAGE and heparin treatment) consisted of first instilling SAGE or heparin at 10 mg/ml at maximum bladder capacity for 45 min. Bladders were then emptied and challenged with LL-37 (320 μM) for 45 min. Tissues were then harvested at 24 h following LL-37 administration. All bladder tissues were hemisected, processed, fixed, and either H&E stained or tissue MPO assays performed to quantitate levels of inflammation.
- To a stirred solution of 50 mg of the GM-1111 (Table 1) and 10 mg of N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) in 10 mL of deionized (DI) H2O was added a solution of 1 mg of AlexaFluor 633 hydrazide (Invitrogen, Eugene, Oreg.) in 4 mL of dimethylformamide (DMF). The pH was adjusted to 4.75, and 10 mg of powdered N,N-diethylaminopropyl carbodiimide (EDCI) was added. The pH of mixture was maintained at 4.75 by dropwise addition of 3 N NaOH. The reaction mixture was protected from light with Al foil, and stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then dialyzed twice against 100 mM NaCl solution (MWCO 1000), and then once against DI H2O. The dialyzed solution was lyophilized to dryness to give 25 mg of the GM-1111-Alexa Fluor 633 conjugate. The substitution degree (SD) was determined from absorption of a 1 mg/mL solution at 632 nm using a Cary 50 UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Varian, Inc., Palo Alto, Calif.). For GM-1111 with an average MW of 5000 Da and disaccharide weight of 539 (nine disaccharides) and 1200 Da for AlexaFluor 633, the SD was 14%, or approximately one AlexaFluor 633 modification per seven disaccharide units.
- Mice were anesthetized and catheterized in the same fashion as detailed above. Bladders were instilled with the SAGE AlexaFluor 633 bioconjugate (10 mg/ml) at maximum bladder capacity (150 μl) for 45 min. Bladders were then harvested immediately thereafter (t=0) or after 24 h (t=24) of intravesical SAGE administration. All tissues were processed, fixed and sectioned under light sensitive conditions. Tissue sections were counterstained with DAPi in order to identify all cellular nuclei. Fluorescence imaging was carried out at the University of Utah CORE facilities utilizing a FV1000 Confocal Olympus IX81 microscope and HeNe laser with variable emission filters.
- Bladders were removed and split longitudinally. One section of the bladder was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, and the second section was processed for tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) assay. Gross images of hemi-sected bladders were performed with a dissecting stereo microscope and photographed with a
Moticam 1000 digital camera (Moticam North America, Richmond, Calif.). To assess inflammatory changes in bladders, tissues were processed through a graded alcohol series and embedded in paraffin, and 5 μM sections were cut and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Severity of bladder inflammation was assessed by the presence and degree of inflammatory infiltrate (polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs)) in the bladder epithelium (urothelium), submucosa, lamina propria and smooth muscle layers, the presence and extent of edema and hemorrhage, and the presence of surface urothelial changes, including erosion, ulceration, and microabscess formation. Individual slides were examined and photographed on an Olympus BX41 microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and an Imaging Planet 1.4 MPX digital microscope camera (Imaging Planet Research, Goleta, Calif.). - Hemi-sected bladders destined for tissue MPO assays were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored in −80° C. Lysis buffer (200 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 10 mM Tris, 10% glycerin) (SIGMA, St. Louis, Mo.), and protease inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Scientific, Cat #78140, Rockford, Ill.) were added to frozen tissue samples (200 μl lysis buffer/10 mg frozen tissue). Tissues were then minced with micro-scissors and homogenized for 90 seconds at 4° C. with a small sample lab Tissue-Tearor Homogenizer (Biospec Products, Model #985-370, Bartlesville, Okla.). Samples were centrifuged twice for 15 min each (1500 g at 4° C.) and supernatant was transferred to new sterile tubes. The activity of MPO was quantified in bladder sample homogenates using an MPO Sandwich ELISA Kit (Cell Sciences, Cat #HK210, Canton, Mass.). Briefly, samples were diluted 1:5 with ELISA kit Diluent Buffer and assay was carried out following manufactures recommendations. 100 μl duplicates of standards, samples and controls were added to wells. Unless otherwise specified, all incubations were carried out at R.T. for one h, followed by washing. Tracer and streptavidin-peroxidase were added sequentially following incubation and washing procedures. TMB substrate was added and incubated for 25 min. Stop solution was then added and absorbance was measured at 450 nm in a microplate reader (Optimax Tunable, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). A standard curve was generated on each sample plate, and a linear regression curve was generated. All values were expressed as means+/−SD.
- GM-1111 showed no anti-Xa and <0.2 U/mg anti-IIa anticoagulant activity, compared to 150 U/mg each for unfractionated heparin. Unlike heparin, highly-charged polyanionic polymers are potent inducers of the intrinsic coagulation cascade by activation of Factor XII, secondarily activating kinins. GM-1111 appears safer than medical heparin in tests for activation of Factor XII, even at concentrations 10-100-fold higher than needed to achieve pharmacologic inhibition of P-selectin and RAGE. GM-1111 appears to have optimal safety and broad efficacy.
- GM-1111 showed no toxicity for cultured fibroblasts or epithelial cells and no cutaneous toxicity in standard Draize tests. In a preliminary non-GLP study on the effects of GM-1111 as a single i.v. dose to rats, and in daily i.v. injections (n=3 rats per sex), GM-1111 did not produce signs of toxicity at any dose level for single acute doses as high as 100 mg/kg and 7 repeated i.v. daily doses of 10 mg/kg. The i.v. LD50 for GM-1111 is >100 mg/kg.
- After one single intravesical exposure to LL-37, tissues were harvested and examined at 12 and 24 h. On gross inspection after 12 h, the bladders appeared to have moderate inflammation, characterized by focal areas of erythema and hemorrhage, along with global edema (
FIG. 3C ). After 24 h, the bladders appeared to have severe inflammation, characterized with global erythema and hemorrhage, along with significant tissue edema and hypervascularity (FIG. 3D ). Saline exposed control tissues at both time points were completely normal, with no evidence of inflammation observed (FIGS. 3A & 3B ). - Both 12 and 24 h tissues were then processed and evaluated by histology with H&E staining. As illustrated in
FIGS. 3A & 3B , no inflammation was observed in the saline exposed controls as expected at both time points. The urothelium, submucosa, lamina propria, and smooth muscle layers were completely intact with no evidence of PMN or lymphocyte infiltration, and lack of tissue edema. In the LL-37 exposed tissues after 12 h (FIG. 3C ), there were focal areas of urothelial cell ulceration and moderate tissue edema present in the submucosa and lamina propria layers. In addition, a moderate number of PMNs were observed within the urothelial, submucosa and lamina propria (superficial and deep) layers, along with PMNs marginating out of blood vessels. No evidence of microabscesses (PMN clusters) were observed after 12 h. The evidence from both the gross and histologic findings demonstrated that a moderate tissue inflammatory response had occurred after 12 h. These findings were consistently observed for all six mice in the 12 h harvest group. - For the 24 h harvest group, the histological evaluation of the LL-37 exposed bladders yielded a similar inflammatory response, but more profound levels of inflammation were apparent (
FIG. 4D ). The qualitative amount of tissue edema present in the submucosa was similar between the 24 h and 12 h tissues, but the lamina propria did yield more profound levels of edema. In addition, the 24 h tissue did have significantly more PMNs present in the urothelial, submucosa, and lamina propria (superficial and deep) layers. Furthermore, the 24 h tissues had multiple areas with microabscesses (PMN clusters) present, further signifying a more profound inflammatory response. Similar patterns of PMN margination out of blood vessels were seen for both harvest groups. The evidence from both the gross and histologic findings for the 24 h harvest group demonstrated that severe levels of inflammation were apparent after one single LL-37 exposure, more so than for the 12 h harvest group. Similar to the 12 h harvest group, findings were consistently observed for all six mice in the 24 h cohort. - The degree of inflammation was quantified using a tissue MPO assay. MPO is glycoprotein expressed in all cells of the myeloid lineage and is abundantly present in azurophilic granules of PMNs. It is an important enzyme released by activated PMNs during episodes of infection or inflammation, and is therefore utilized as a quantitative marker for inflammation. Our results comparing the 12 h harvest tissues (
FIG. 5 ) illustrated minimal MPO activity for control saline instilled bladders (11 ng/ml) and control non-manipulated/non-instilled bladders (5 ng/ml). Strikingly, the LL-37 exposed tissues after 12 h yielded a 21-fold increase in MPO activity (229 ng/ml) when compared to control saline exposed samples (11 ng/ml). Further evaluation of the 24 h harvest tissues (FIG. 5 ) again yielded minimal MPO activity in the control saline exposed tissues (14 ng/ml) versus a 61-fold increase (849 ng/ml) in the LL-37 exposed bladders. The MPO data support and are consistent with the H&E histology. Thus, moderate levels of inflammation were present after a 12 h period, with an increased level of inflammation after 24 h. - The ability of the GM-1111 to either prevent or mitigate LL-37 induced bladder inflammation was evaluated by instillation of a 10 mg/ml solution of the sulfated polysaccharide. Two groups were examined. Group 1 (post-treatment, n=4) consisted of LL-37 exposure for 45 min then followed by treatment with GM-1111 immediately thereafter (45 min dwell time). Group 2 (pre-treatment, n=4) consisted of treatment with GM-1111 (45 min dwell time) then followed with LL-37 exposure for 45 min.
Group 2 served to evaluate if pre-coating would yield a prophylactic effect. In both groups, mice were sacrificed after 24 h and bladders were harvested, imaged, processed, and H&E stained. - In
group 1, gross inspection of the GM-1111 post-treated bladders appeared to show less erythema and hypervascularity, but bladders were still edematous (FIG. 6B ). Histologic evaluation revealed edema in the submucosa and lamina propria, although strikingly the urothelium and submucosa had a complete lack of PMNs, along with significantly fewer PMNs seen throughout the lamina propria layer. In addition, the PMNs that were present appeared to be limited to the deeper lamina propria layer, a finding consistent with a gradient type of response (FIG. 6D ). Furthermore, no evidence of microabscess formation was observed in the SAGE treated bladders, along with a paucity of PMNs rolling out of blood vessels. Inflammatory quantification with tissue MPO assay, comparing LL-37 inflamed bladders vs.group 1 tissues revealed a 2.5 fold diminished inflammatory response in GM-1111 treated bladders (FIG. 3F—blue bar) (LL-37 MPO activity 849 ng/ml vs.group 1 post-treatment with SAGE MPO activity 347 ng/ml). - In
group 2, gross inspection yielded SAGE pre-treated bladders appeared to have almost a complete lack of erythema and hypervascularity, and only minimal edema was apparent (FIG. 6A ). Histologic evaluation revealed mild edema in the submucosa, but no evidence of edema in the lamina propria. Strikingly, no evidence of PMNs were observed throughout all layers of the bladder, along with no evidence of PMNs rolling or marginating out of blood vessels (FIG. 6C ). Overall, the GM-1111 pre-treated tissues almost resembled non-inflamed saline control tissues. Inflammatory quantification with tissue MPO assay, comparing LL-37 inflamed bladders vs.group 2 tissues, revealed a 22.3-fold diminished inflammatory response in GM-1111 pre-treated bladders (FIG. 6E ) (LL-37 MPO activity 849 ng/ml vs.group 2 pre-treatment with GM-1111 MPO activity 38 ng/ml). Both the histologic findings and MPO results suggested that pre-treatment of bladder tissues with GM-1111 could serve as an important protective therapeutic. - The heparin treated bladders yielded sub-optimal anti-inflammatory results. In group 1 (post-treatment) gross results revealed significant inflammation with edema, hypervascularity and hemorrhage all apparent (
FIG. 7B ). Histologic findings were consistent, yielding urothelial ulceration, submucosa and lamina propria edema, PMNs abundant throughout all tissue layers, and PMNs marginating from blood vessels (FIG. 7D ). MPO assays (FIG. 7F ) revealed almost negligible differences in inflammatory activity between untreated LL-37 challenged bladders and heparin post-treated tissues (LL-37 MPO activity 849 ng/ml vs.group 1 post-treatment with heparin MPO activity 827 ng/ml). In group 2 (pre-treatment) gross results revealed similar findings togroup 1, with significant inflammation in the form of edema, hypervascularity and hemorrhage all apparent (FIG. 7A ). Histologic findings mirroredgroup 1 as well, with urothelial ulceration, submucosa and lamina propria edema, PMNs present throughout all tissue layers, and PMNs marginating from blood vessels (FIG. 7C ). MPO assays (FIG. 7E ) revealed only slight differences in inflammatory activity between untreated LL-37 challenged bladders and heparin pre-treated tissues (LL-37 MPO activity 849 ng/ml vs.group 2 pre-treatment with heparin MPO activity 759 ng/ml). - In order to better elucidate the tissue coating and penetration properties of the modified hyaluronans, a 10 mg/ml solution of the fluorescently labeled AlexaFluor 633-GM-1111 was instilled and harvested tissues immediately (t=0) after a single 45 min dwell time instillation and also tissues after 24 h (t=24). Processed tissues were also stained with DAPi in order to identify all cellular nuclei. Initial results for the immediate harvest group showed uniform coating of the superficial urinary GAG layer adjacent to the urothelium, along with deeper penetration into the submucosa, lamina propria, and superficial smooth muscle layer (
FIGS. 8A & 8B ). In addition, endothelial cells lining arterioles illustrating significant coating on both the basal and luminal sides of these vascular structures with GM-1111. No evidence of coating GM-1111 was observed in the endothelium lining venules. Results for the 24 h harvest group yielded no evidence of the presence of GM-1111 along the urinary GAG layer that was previously observed in the immediate harvest group. Importantly, GM-1111 was still strongly apparent within regions of the submucosa and along the endothelium lining small arterioles on both basal and luminal sides (FIGS. 8C & 8D ). Finally, GM-1111 was still visualized intercalating in random regions of the bladder smooth muscle. These results indicated that one single exposure of GM-1111 still persisted in the bladder after a 24 h period. - Throughout this application, various publications are referenced.
